Don't they know they can buy a full-auto Uzi without any form of ID at American gunshows? All they need to do is get on the plane and come on over.

Why do I get the feeling that Eric is already organizing a flotilla of shrimp boats out of Port Arthur, loaded to the hilt w/ everything from capguns to anal probes?

What in the hell are they doing with the billions of dollars in foreign aid they get from the U.S. every year????
Why don't they learn from the Palestinians how to wage a war on a shoestring budget. |

Good point Imbroglio. My thoughts are that the latest M-16 shipment didn't get there, or the Israelis gave some to the Palestinians so they could justify more settlements due to "terror attacks".
Bloody hell. I hope these people nuke each other. I'm sick of this crap. themao [chainsawkill] |

Didn't the Israeli gov't recently announce it was issuing an additional [i]50,000[/i] weapons carry permits to Israeli citizens?
Maybe the Israelis simply exhausted the supply of spare firearms in gov't arsenals, aside from those spares kept for the military. |

And from their perspective, that's entirely correct, whether we (the US) like it or not. No sane US citizen would expect the US to subjugate the US' interests to those of Israel, and the US ought not to expect any different in return. |

I happen to think that Israel can do, and has done, plenty of wrong in the past.
But just as Sept 11th stayed me from any public display of the bad feelings that I have about Rudy Guiliani and his anti-gun rhetoric, at this point in time I will also shut my mouth about Israel's past sins. When the nation has fully recovered from Sept 11, then I will resume my anti-Guiliani public stance, etc. To do otherwise would put the RKBA on the wrong side of history in a lot of people's minds. You know, the minds of [b]voters[/b]. Let the general American public believe that the folks who support the RKBA, do not support the 'hero' former mayor of NYC, and the public's perception of the RKBA will suffer. When this second Intifadah is over and peace reigns in the Holy Land, then I will feel safe to criticize Israel, again. But not before. That what friends and allies are for! Eric The(Wise)Hun[>]:)] |

Well, [b]platform389[/b], I suppose that the folks who know the entire story behind the Phalcon deal, air-to-air missiles, etc., have also looked at the Israel-Palestinian struggle and have decided to continue to support Israel.
I don't think for a minute that this decision is based upon anything other than what is in the best interests of the United States. When the United States sells its most sophisticated planes to Saudi Arabia, do we let the Israelis have a veto over it simply because, in all likelihood, if those planes were ever to be used in combat, it would be against Israel? No? Well, Israel let's the United States have such a veto power over its sales of military hardware. Eric The(Fair)Hun[>]:)] |

From the article: And though some guns are manufactured in Israel, they require European-made ammunition, which is also affected by the embargo. Don't the Israelis have their own ammo plants? If they can't meet the demand, there are plenty of ammo makers outside of Europe. |

Weapons sales can be problematic. As to the Chinese problem, we finally had enough with the Airborne Early Warning deal. We told Israel no go. For the exact reasons I detailed in the last post. Of course, the Chinese hit the ceiling and are demanding $1.25 billion from Israel. See page 12 in the March issue of AIR FORCES magazine for more details. What bothers me about this is either Israel needs this stuff for "it's survival" or they are interested in profiting from technology otherwise unattainable. It can't be both ways. China WILL NOT come riding to Israel's rescue during the next war. [IMG]http://216.40.198.77/mysmilies/s/ups/kiss_my_ass/mad.gif[/IMG] |

Don't know how this topic did a 180 degree turn, and became a chinese-related issue?
I thought this is something related to Isral. And why should Isral consider anything the American say? Shouldn't Isral consider its national interests first? If an Israli starts to think of American interests first before their own interests, wouldn't he be a traitor? They are our allies, not our puppies. They have the rights to do whatever they feel. And we have the rights to do whatever we feel. That's why we are 2 seperate nations. |

sorry, platform, maybe I jumped the gun a little. didn't read the link.
I disagree with you totally. It's like giving your daughter away to her husband. Do you have any more rights to force her to do things you like? If you feel your daughter isn't doing what you like, you can stop giving her help. Besides, when we supply Isral with $$$ and technology, we never had any conditions. We just simply give it away. what national interests? $$$$$. That's the top reason for most countries to sell military weapons and related technology. I wonder why we sold Saudi's the F15s, the Apaches, the M1A2s, etc.... if not because of $$$. Don't tell me they will defend Iraq with those, them saudis will run and ask for our army when that time comes. |

As I mentioned before, someone on the Bush Team has, I would imagine, already figured the pluses and minuses of continuing US relations with Israel, and, for better or worse, has made the decision to stick by Israel. And I hardly think it likely that this was because of Jewish Americans' financial support of George W. Bush's candidacy for Prez. They, by and large, supported Gore. To their everlasting shame. Maybe they will learn some day. Before it's too late. Eric The(WhoKnows?)Hun[>]:)] |

Interesting that this went from a news story about not enough pistols to go around for civillians to protect their families and we end up talking about international relations, alliances and airpower distribution.
Perhaps, back to the original point, we should see if there could be perhaps a distribution at the grass roots of pistols from the US to the Israeli civillians in need of them. I found an old plaque given to my grandfather in the 70s for donating 100 trees to Israel. It seems now what is needed is 100 pistols and several hundred cases of ammo. |
